We thank the Sparta community for supporting our mission at Wine & Food Pairing

To the Editor:

On behalf of the Sparta Education Foundation, we would like to thank the Sparta community for so generously supporting our mission at our 8th annual Wine & Food Pairing, held October 24 at the Brick House Farm in Sparta.

In addition to the support of the attendees, we are grateful to the many amazing sponsors who helped make the event possible.

Opici Wines of Glen Rock, the Cape May Brewing Company, and Liquor Factory were especially supportive of the event, supplying a wide variety of wines, beer and spirits for the evening.

Other sponsors included: Rev It Up in partnership with Amp the Vibe as the Champagne Welcome Sponsor; Lakeland Bank as the cocktail napkin sponsor; Econo-Pak as the food-pairing sponsor; La Frieda Purveyors as the Auction Sponsor; Sparta Benevolent Society, Landon Maxwell Barbers, American Smoke BBQ, FoxVale Homes as Sommelier Table Sponsors; and Performance Pediatrics, the Buono family, Black Bear Fitness, Alice and Charles Terry, Pour House and Sparta Lanes, Refine and Design, White Lotus Yoga, FoxVale Homes, and Cedar and Sage as cocktail table sponsors.

In addition, support for the Auction and Raffle came from: Onore Clothing, J. Thomas Jewelers, Garlic and Oil, Get Personal, Murray Designs, LaFrieda Purveyors, White Lotus Yoga, FoxVale Homes, Murray Designs, Cedar and Sage, Samantha’s Closet, F45 Training, Pure Barre Sparta, and Dixie Extension Hair.

The Coronato Group generously served as our music sponsor for the evening, with Beck and the Calls providing the jazz-styled tunes throughout the night.

State Shuttle made sure to get everyone back to their cars safely, providing transportation from the event to their cars. A huge thank you goes out to the Sparta Athletic Club for allowing our attendees to use their lot during the event.

A special thanks goes out to Refine and Design, who provided the styling for our cocktail tables, and to Cedar and Sage, who helped stage our lounge area and champagne display.

Once again, our Wine & Food Pairing brought members of our community together for a lovely evening in support of Sparta’s public schools. It really does take a village to make this all come together, and we are so grateful for the generosity we received.
